Get More Dip On Your Chip Every Time With This Genius Trick

Fact: the best parties start with a dip. Actually, we've had parties dedicated entirely to dips because they're just so damn good. However, there are two, indisputable downfalls to eating chips and dip at a social gathering: 1) the awkward, overwhelming urge you get to aggressively elbow your friends out of the way while you stake out prime, right-in-front-of-the-dip-bowl real estate, and 2) not getting enough dip on your chip. We may never be relieved of the former, but this genius trick has solved the latter.

We all know double dipping in a crowded bowl is off-limits no matter how close you and your friends are. With that option off of the table, there are few avenues left for maximizing your dip to chip ratio. You can submerge the vessel until your finger tips are just about to meet the dip, but that would totally overpower the chip. You could also politely dunk the edge of a chip and retrieve a mediocre scoop to achieve the unsatisfactory taste of one quarter dip, and three quarters naked chip. Or, you could do what the ballers do and create a chip and dip sandwich.

It's pretty much self-explanatory but hey, let's walk through it together anyway. First you take a chip. Next, cover one side of that chip in the dip of your choice. It's probably best to use some sort of utensil in your quest to spread the dip evenly across the chip; if double dipping is taboo, then fondling the public dip with your fingers in an attempt to cover your chip will probably get some side eye, too. Once your first chip is covered, place another on top. Now not only are you getting dip in every bite, but you're guaranteed to have enough chip as well. Genius.
